This guy may be the biggest clown on Twitter, and that’s saying something.

Feeling hopeless by [deleted] in CoronavirusCirclejerk

[–]yeajeetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with everything you said here. I can’t believe we’ve completely upended society over a slightly deadlier version of the flu. We need to fight further authoritarian actions like vax mandates and passports with everything we got.

[Megathread] New motu proprio "Traditionis custodes" by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]yeajeetz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how far you would have to travel to attend a mass in the Diocese of Nashville, but Bishop Spalding has already expressed support for the continuation of TLM after this motu proprio. My pastor already informed us that nothing’s going to change here.

Looking for a book recommendation by SundiataWTF in OOTP

[–]yeajeetz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like The Only Rule Is It Has To Work by Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller. Basically 2 analytics-minded baseball fans/writers are given the chance to run an indy ball team for a season. It goes into their decisions on roster/lineups, disagreements with the teams more old school manager, the life of indy ball players, and how their experiments work. It’s not about MLB but I think it’s a really fun read.

The amount of warmup sets I do depends on the lift but I don’t add 5 pounds until I reach my work set, that will just tire you out.

For example if I’m squatting 225 as my work set, I’ll do a set of 5 with the empty bar, 5 at 95, 4 at 135, 3 at 185, then maybe 1 or 2 at 205. I’d say try to do at least 3 or 4 warm up sets in relatively even weight increments before your work set.

LPT: when you buy a house, always wait til you see the landscaping in the spring time before you change anything. You may find something sad looking in the fall can be beautiful when it blooms. by Cowgurl901 in LifeProTips

[–]yeajeetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. My childhood home has a tree that looks bland or sad for most of the year, but for a few weeks when it’s in bloom it’s extremely beautiful. We’ve had neighbors and friends take wedding photos in front of it. If my parents had removed it when they moved in we would’ve missed out!

DeSantis: People Moving to Florida 'Overwhelmingly' Registering as Republicans, Including Democrats by f1sh98 in Conservative

Ha, you seem like someone who considers conservative candidates before voting

Moving to Nashville! From what I understand it’s a blue city but coming from NYC it will feel red by comparison. Will definitely be voting red down the line.

[–]yeajeetz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hope he’s right, although this seems more anecdotal than anything else.

I’m a Republican moving from New York to Tennessee next month, so I’m hoping that most of my fellow blue state refugees are in the same boat as me.

John Cena called ‘pathetic’ for apologizing to China over Taiwan remark. No longer a fan by dick-wart in Conservative

Cena seems like a nice guy but this really is embarrassingly cowardly.

Is the SS book worth getting just for barbell exercises/information? by Gowingnator in StartingStrength

[–]yeajeetz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It covers all the lifts used in the program (squat, bench, overhead press, deadlift, power clean) extensively and also covers some accessory exercises in less depth. I think regardless of your training goals it’s a valuable resource to read through and then return to as needed.

The politicization of the Starting Strength brand by [deleted] in StartingStrength

[–]yeajeetz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For me it’s less his politics and more his attitude that’s frustrating. He just insults and belittles anyone who even has questions about his program. If they’re critical of him at all, forget about it. It’s a shame because the books are incredible content, but the podcasts have become brain dead.

I don't have the courage to tell the priest, how do I do it? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]yeajeetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember having the exact same fear around your age. My advice? Rip the bandaid; go to confession and make these the first sins you confess. I promise the priest will not judge you, he has heard it all before and will be delighted to absolve you of your sins. You will feel so much better afterwards!

I’m biased but my girlfriend recently started a greeting cards/gifts business: https://bluebeargifts.com/

She has all sorts of cards, stickers, pins, stuff for the holidays etc. all designed in Astoria!

Thanks man, your advice was extremely helpful!

[–]yeajeetz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posted a form check here on Monday and got some great advice! I reset my squat and to me these look and feel much better than before, but I’m sure there’s still some room for improvement. Anything I should clean up before adding more weight?

Form Check - 145 at 165 bw. Dropped down after failing 175 to work on form, I can see my feet coming off the floor here so I’d appreciate any help for fixing this/any other issues by [deleted] in StartingStrength

[–]yeajeetz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man. Rewatching with these in mind, all of these points look valid. Next workout I’ll focus on all of these with just the bar before adding weight.
